Palin likes to quote Jefferson. Now I see they have a lot in common....
"I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it."

Thomas Jefferson

2. Hey, don't insult George Jefferson
At least he knew how to create a successful chain of dry cleaning stores...which is a lot more than Moosebreath could ever do in her lifetime. :rofl:

3. Of course, instead of reading newspapers Jefferson was reading Homer in the original greek.

Something tells me that's not exactly the case with Governor Palin.

8. I wonder whether Palin has read the Jefferson Bible.
It might cause her to stop and think about her religious beliefs.

5. I can be fairly certain
that Thomas Jefferson would not have agreed to a Sean Hannity interview.

7. Not only that, but they both were former beauty-pageant runners-up...
.... were small-town mayors, and both could see Russia from their front porches!!!

10. Didn't Jefferson say this after he retired from Public Life?
